They fit like a glove...
Okay, maybe a little tighter than that. But the point is, they're on! The size 11 jeans I bought a year ago finally button up once again! WIth major muffin tops, mind you, but that's easy enough to hide. They are ON people! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

4 years ago...
I went to the doctors today, and mentioned to him about my attempting to lose weight, and he wanted to weigh me because the last recorded weight he had for me was in 2007. He told me I weighed a kilogram less than I did 4 years ago! I know that's only about 2lb, but considering I would've put weight on over those 4 years…

Small success, Big excitement!
So I started strictly working on my weight loss less than three weeks ago. I had my third weigh-in today, and I'm down a total of five pounds! (my ticker is off, I downloaded the app on my phone months and months ago, and had gained 2 pounds since then.) I know it's a very small victory in the bigger picture, but this…

Cheat Days
The following is my own humble opinion! It is working for me... you may think differently. There is way too much talk of "cheat days" I have been on a diet many times and given myself cheat days before, but I have not this time, and I don't plan on it ever again... why would we want to punish ourselves with the crap and…

victories bigger than weight loss!
Today, I checked in with the PA at my place of employment as I do every Tuesday and Thursday. My BP was 108/72. she mentioned that i might need to have my Dr. adjust my meds since this was pretty low and I had lost "so much weight". I called the Dr. and he cut my meds in half and will evaluate their need in two weeks.…

Sometimes its the little things
I've lost a good chunk of weight. I can see it in the scale and the way my clothes fit, but today something happened that really drove home how much I've lost. I wear 2 thin bangle bracelets. I've worn the bracelets for the past 10 years and for the past 5 years or so, I haven't been able to get them off. They just…
